Geri Cole

Geri Cole is a writer who worked on Sesame Street since the 41st season. She began as a production assistant for 5 seasons before transitioning into writing beginning with season 46. Geri has also served as a puppeteer at the 2015 Annual Sesame Workshop Benefit Gala, puppeteering Segi to someone else's voice. Cole could have puppeteered on the show itself, but I guess she was happy with writing. Other than episode scripts, she did special material for the series including the special Once Upon a Sesame Street Christmas and The-Not-Too-Late Show with Elmo. Geri Cole must be very proud to work among the people on Sesame Street to this very day. She has also been credited as a lyricist for season 50 of Sesame Street, but I would like to see what songs she provided lyrics to. Personally, I think she should try and be an assistant Muppet performer on the show or maybe puppeteer other characters to celebrity voices. Geri has even wrote for a parody of Birdman, starring Caroll Spinney and Big Bird in 2015. I hope that Cole keeps working on Sesame Street as both writer and lyricist for the future. Even though she only puppeteered once, she is welcome to be on this blog. Geri Cole, you are a talented writer and you did a good job operating Segi for an event. Keep on working with Sesame Street and before you know it, you'll go down in history. I hope you are making the head writer proud. If you are Geri, then I would say he's very proud of your work. Excellent writing for everything you did for the show Cole!

Heather Quinn

Heather Quinn is a British puppeteer, cosplayer, singer, and gossiper who did many puppet characters for social media. She is also the only puppeteer who does cosplay, in other words, dresses and acts like their favorite character from a show. Heather also has a love for anything vintage, which I personally find to be unique for a person to like things from the past. Quinn hasn't done anything Muppet-related in her life, in fact she's probably never even heard of the Muppets or the Henson Company. However she has puppeteered many times for social media such as TikTok and Instagram. One of her puppets resembles an Ewok from the Star Wars franchise, which could give a clue that she's a Star Wars fan as well. In addition to puppetry, Heather Quinn has been gossiping on her website about her activities, her travels, as well as her habit of drinking tea. She's also sung all of Sondheim's Company, Into the Woods, and Sweeney Todd, as stated by her on her own website. Ther...

His most notable work with them was on Fraggle Rock as the body of Pa Gorg and various other characters on the series.

Amanda Glass

Amanda Glass is a British puppeteer and costume maker who puppeteered on season 1 of Sooty (2011) as well as part of the third season. She also puppeteered on the Sooty video Sooty: The Big Day Out as well as making many of the puppets' costumes on the series. Besides doing Sooty, Amanda was also an additional puppeteer on Mongrels for three episodes. I personally think Glass should have puppeteered on a project by either the Muppets or the Henson Company (mostly in the Creature Shop). It's currently unknown what the performer looks like since the picture above either has her on camera or under one of the puppets. On both Sooty and Mongrels, other puppeteers she performed with include Iestyn Evans, Yvonne Stone, Simon Buckley, and Toby Olie, to name a few. Maybe someday Amanda Glass will have her chance to meet one of the Muppet performers in the UK or maybe she will learn about the Henson Company online. Nobody really knows whatever happened to her after 2018 when she did seas...
